Oh, really?  I wasn't aware of that.

Well, I don't use a primary select method at all, only secondary ones.
And as far as I know, there's nothing making them less powerful or
second class citizens (well, except that the backend is always shown, it
seems), so you might want to do the same.

  ;; Make the primary select method a do-nothing one
  (setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil))

  ;; Only use severeal secondary select methods
  (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
	     '(nntp "Gmane"
		    (nntp-address "news.gmane.org")))
  ...
